Winners will have a poem written in their honour.
Hopefully, this'll be a hard one. Although, given certain readers' genius for bum identification, I never can tell.
Good luck, and good bumming.

Clue Three
Can you....NAME THAT BUM?
The philosophy of cricket. That means I say controversial things that attempts to challenge the dominant paradigms in current cricket thinking. Yes. The paradigms. I also try to say nice things about spinners.

Pixelated bums.
Justin Langer.
Phil Mustard?
Yeah, the images are a bit dodgy this week, but I wanted to get a player that I like and represent all nationalities in this noble contest.
I'm afraid you are all wrong.
yes yes i know now i squint at the third pic...
ooh, Chanderpaul!
Yeah, I think Chris has got it. A non-English lefty who plays for Durham. I can't recall di Venuto playing in whites against England.
But I'll say Albie Morkel just in case.
Some nice reasoning there. Some things are on the right lines; others are a bit off the mark.
I'm afraid no one has it, yet.
It's not Mike Hussey is it?
Nic Pothas
D'oh, he's right-handed. I reckon that vodafone logo is mis-leading - think it's an England Lions keeper.
But that aside - Kumar Sangakkara
I'm afraid no one has it yet.
Oh ho ho, it's a good'un this week.
Some people are getting close; they have the right country.
Daniel Vettori
Right country? That could be Australia, West Indies, or Sri Lanka!
Or even South Africa for that matter.
Dale Benkenstein?
Shiv Chanderpaul - surely - please....
Been looking at these for too long
Sorry. Still no one has it.
I think we might have a county identification issue here...
Ottis Gibson?
Shane Watson
No it's Sean Ervine!
Isnt Shane Watson right handed?
ganguly
Shane Warne?
Still having problems with the county, I see.
Sorry, I'm afraid you are all rubbish.
Jaques Rudolph??
it's not hampshire - that's what he keeps telling us.
why oh why does no one listen.
Simon Katich
Boof? Darren Lehmann
I wasn't thinking about Hampshire, ta v much.... Younis Khan?
And clutching a seriously gangly straw... Jason Gillespie
(btw, it *IS* chanderpaul really...)
Sadly, despite Chris' repeated attempts, Suave pipped him at the post. Well done again Suave.
It's the Boofster. (Not Shiv.)
I've been refreshing my browser every 10 seconds since 1:50 for that?!?!?! pah. Think of all the real work i could have been doing.
Poor Chris.
At least I know I'm not the only person who tends to lean on Refresh a bit.
Huzzah!!
I look forward to getting a prize of pure delight!
Sorry Chris. I was willing you on, I really was. But if I would have given any more clues someone would have guessed it quickly.
There are some real bum-experts here. You have some tough competition.
Maybe next week...
That's so annoying... Well done Suave.
Very jealous
I guess i need to start my own blog to get in with you lot... you told him, right?
He couldn't afford me, sugar.
Suave naturally has a dizzingly wide knowledge of cricketers' bums. He studies them for this contest.
Perhaps you should too? On page 333 in Wisden.
